Laguna Dudú, Dominican Republic

Visit the only place in the world where it is possible to dive from one natural lake to another one

Laguna Dudú is the only place in the world where it is possible for speleologists to dive from one natural lake to another one. It is located in the northern coast of the Dominican Republic, very close to Diamante Beach, at just 25 km away from Nagua.

This place has two lagoons connected to each other and to the sea (the connection with the sea is more indirect). Dudú Lagoon is 32 metres deep, and it is surrounded by a thick forest that occupies the surrounding cliffs.

In the surroundings of Dudú Lagoon, it is possible to find some caves, there are some stalactites and stalagmites that were formed little by little. But the best place to admire pre-Columbian art is the Taíno cave: its 30 metre-high walls are decorated by this kind of art.

Apart from speleology, the refreshing baths, the funny experience of jumping over the rocks or the interesting cave exploring, this place has charming restaurants and hotels.

Explore the vicinities of the lagoon or swim in its idyllic crystalline waters on your trip to the northern region of the Dominican Republic.
